Pretty good

The books was pretty good, just don't take the class for this text book at BGSU, the prof wouldn't give out an A if the fate of the World depended on it!

INCREDIBLE

As a student of philosophy, this book is fantastic. Volti's intelligent perspective on technology and its affect on society is breathtaking. Furthermore, his style is unique and fun to read, leaving no room for misunderstandings. Volti is a professor of Science, Technology, and Society at the highly esteemed Pitzer College in California. I highly recomend reading this book, Volti's insight will change your life.

Great text for education or pleasue

Volti brings to life the wonderous oft-forgotten connection between people and the things they make. This book explores how society has influences technology, and how technology has influenced society.

It's going to be perfect for my class

I'm going to build a class around this book next fall. This book will be perfect for my freshman-level "Technology and Society" class. I found the book very interesting and I think my class will too.The book is well researched and well written. Some may argue that the book lacks depth, but for my purposes, I appreciate the book's breadth versus depth compromise. I was wonderfully pleased to find a book that actually met the expectations I formed as a I perused its table of contents.It is true that the book could be organized differently, but I didn't find the current organization to be as poor as the previous reviewer did.Once again, the book is perfect for my purposes and I was thrilled to find it.

Superb integration of thinking on the subject

I use Rudi Volti's book in course I teach and find his engaging writing style, passion for the subject and well research material invaluable. The university students like it too!
